This is not the first time I've seen this Fatha Hines album cover, though I never owned a copy. Holy moly that man could PLAY! It looks like it's from the wonderful era of Jazz reissues where some devoted scholar would meticulously annotate each and every detail about each and every track. If you try to search the web for this kind of info, Google PREVENTS us from seeing it because they prefer to promote hundreds of sites with no relevance whatsoever above the web page out there somewhere that has it.
That's a great point, Tony. I'm sure somewhere on the web the info exists, but there is no easy way to find it. And yeah, the more I hear Earl Hines, the more I kick myself for not going to see him when I was too young and dumb to know who he was.
Respectfully just don’t even, Steve! You’ve seen more great shows than most everybody else our age! But I do wish you would have been with us down there at Off Broadway sitting around the table bullshitting with Fatha. That means you would have written about it and I would have your good memory to buttress my poor memory, like with the GoGos.

That Pretty Things single is a revelation! It’s 60 years old and this is my first time hearing it!
